This isn't a zero sum game where if Trump bad, than Biden good, or if Trump does the worst corruption, then any Democrat can do corruption and it's fine, as long as it doesn't top Trump's.

That line of thinking is one of the main reasons why Democrats have historically gotten away with running such dogshit candidates.

    If Argentina wasn't a white supremacist settler colony, I might have some sympathy for the argument.

    But it is a white supremacist settler colony, so fuck them, no.

    No argument here, there needs to be standardized age-based testing for drivers licenses, as well as freely accessible and highly available transport for senior citizens who have had their drivers licenses revoked.

    However, this was also a really bad idea from the start. Rollerblading across America, on its roads?!?!

    What are the the odds anyone could complete that task without being hit by a motor vehicle, especially a European not used to the car-centric nature of American roadways and traffic?

    I'm born and raised, and I am positive that I would at least be clipped by cars multiple times, but more than likely I'd eventually get pasted into a red smear.

    That shit sounds terrifying.

    I have supported Ukraine from the start, including policies that provide them with offesnive weaponry, but the surprised Pikachu face of European leaders who choose to provide weapons to Ukraine, for use against Russia, and are now being attacked, is getting tiring.

    Yes, you're in a war, whether your population is bought into it, or not.

    Providing material lethal aid is legitimate casus belli, that includes any attacks Russia might launch against America, or assist with, in response to their support of Ukraine e.g. targeting data for Iran.

    It is reasonable to not support Ukraine on the grounds that you don't want to go to war with Russia, but if you are directly supporting them, stop crying about the blowback.

    Nut up or shut up.

    Fuck Hanlon's Razor.

    For this administration, and especially Pete, never attribute to incompetence, that which can be explained by sexual devancy and sadism.

    I'm talking specifically about their strategy of using technology to target and entrap disaffected low IQ males, radicalize them, and then swoop in to "prevent" their supposed acts of terrorism.

    The FBI's sins our too many to count, but I'm talking about this one specific post 9/11 phenomena.

    I'll wait for more reporting from credible sources on these subjects.

    Until then, historically it'd be safest to assume that is just yet another FBI entrapment scheme of a low IQ or otherwise vulnerable individual done to boost the profile of these agents and the FBI more generally, which is their MO.
